Stefan Delecat wrote an email to the Origami-L mailing list mentioning a site update for Origami Deutschland. I went and checked it out- nice improvements- and saw these great works in the photo Gallery, by Ingrid Siliakus (previously linked to here in an earlier post on Origamic Architecture).
Some of these were new to me, and as always I find them utterly fascinating. I know they aren’t “origami”, but they are paper art, and I love paper in all forms. I highly recommend checking them out.
Mike (mike who? I need more info!) has a new origami blog, with some great writing and depth. I’m looking forward to more interesting topics and commentary.
His link to HQ PaperMaker, a direct-from-thailand paper sales company, was a golden find for me. I go through a lot of unryu just playing around with ideas, so being able to order 100 sheets of it for 38 cents a sheet is pretty worthwhile! even with the international shipping it’s cheaper than I’ve been paying at my local paper shop.
Thanks for the tip, Mike, I appreciate it.
Flickr origamist eightlines posted a set of photos of this wonderful geometric experiment.
I love the way it comes together in the center- very cleanly and simply. and it makes a great cup/bowl shape; industrial origami + rigid folding time! I wonder how hard it would be to press one of these out of PVC or something sturdier like ABS plastic.
These kinds of designs are difficult to fold, at least for me- it’s great to see someone make one that is so nice and crisp.
hop on over to flickr and take a peek, if you have a chance.
